A factor analysis resulted in four areas of bowel symptoms and was used in logistic regression with help seeking, dependency and low QoL as dependent variables.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Of all the subjects, 56\u00b74% had leakage, 54\u00b77% did not reach the toilet in time, 55\u00b76% had incomplete emptying, 27\u00b79% had hard stool, 36\u00b78% bother from moisture from the anus, 32\u00b72% could not withstand urgency for five minutes and 17% had red skin or wounds in the genital region. Women and those dependent were most affected. Totally 40\u00b78% had sought help and 30\u00b71% used protective aids. Leakage, discomfort, consistency and contractibility symptoms were the categories of bowel symptoms related to FI. Discomfort predicted help seeking (OR 3\u00b70), dependency (OR 1\u00b75) and physical QoL (OR 1\u00b77). Leakage predicted help seeking (OR 1\u00b79) but not dependency and QoL.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Overall bowel function was disturbed among those with FI and unmet needs seem problematic especially for women and those needing help in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Encouragement to seek and get medical help and to use protective aids may improve the very low quality of life in this group.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Relevance to clinical practice.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Older people with FI should be asked about, assessed for and examined for overall bowel function to get adequate treatment and be encouraged to use protection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2005.01549.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,27]],"date-time":"2007-02-27T16:32:19Z","timestamp":1172593939000},"page":"458-468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Bowel function among people 75+ reporting faecal incontinence in relation to help seeking, dependency and quality of life"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Karin","family":"Stenzelius","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert","family":"Westergren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingalill R","family":"Hallberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","first-page":"5","article-title":"The standardisation of terminology of lower urinary tract function.
